(Under the superintendence of the British India Society.) Recreations in Chemistry. By THOMAS GRIFFITHS, Lecturer on Che- mistry and Medical Physics at St Bartholomew's Hospital. [" In the following pages," says Mr. GRIFFITHS, " i have no other pretension than to present the juvenile student with directions for the performance of experiments in the chemistry of the non-metallic elements, with facility, safety-, and success." He does, however, a good deal more than this, and very agreeably ; giving a view of alchemy and its history, with many of the more striking facts in the principles of chemistry and the nature of chemical sub- stances, so as to expound the theory of the science whilst teaching its prac- tice. Recreations in Chemistry is a book to be recommended to youth.]

The Year-Book of Facts in Science and Art. Illustrated with Engrav- ings. By the Editor of " The Arcane of Science."

[This little volume contains not fewer than five hundred facts connected with science and the arts, arranged under their respective heads ; and furnishes a very useful and interesting repertory either for reading or reference. It strikes us as differing from another publication on a similar plan, by presenting spe- culations along with facts; things that may be realized, but are not.] Oral Exercises for Beginners in Latin Composition; intended as a Com- panion to the Initia Latina. By the ReverendJ. EDWARDS, M.A., &c., and WILLIAM Caoss, of Queen's College, Cambridge.

Hand-Book to the Oral Exercises. By the Reverend J. EDWARDS, M.A., &c., and WILLIAM Caoss, of Queen's College, Cambridge. [The object of these little books is to give the pupil a knowledge of Latin, and to enable him to acquire a good Latin style, (an accomplishment that may cost too much,) by accustoming him to talk Latin from the outset of his studies. The Oral Exercises contain a variety of themes, from single words to sentences of some complexity, proceeding step by step from the simple cases of nouns to the rules of syntax. The words are English, but the idioms Latin ; peculiarities are noted by typographical marks, and a vocabulary of the words is added. The Hand-Book is a counterpart of the Oral Exercises, ex- cept that the idiom is English ; and the pupil is to learn his lesson from the Exercises, using the Hand-book when he holds forth to his teacher. The compilers, well qualified by experience to speak, say that the work has been found of great utility ; the pupil " acquiring the art of thinking in Latin." Of this we make no doubt, if he be well exercised : but whether his English may not suffer, is a point to be thought about.] Devereux. (Works of Sir E. L. BULWER, Bart.; MP., ALA.) The Hungarian Daughter. A Dramatic Poem. By GEORGE STEPHENS, Author of " The Vampire," Scc.

The Present State of Ophthalmology; with New Modes of Treating the

Diseases of the Eye. By Joan ilatinssose CURTIS, Esq., Oculist.

SERIALS.

The Guide to Service. The Ploughman. [The present Guide to Service is thrown into the form of a tale, presenting the history of two young labourers, one of whom embodies industry and honesty, the other idleness and trick. The story is made a vehicle for exhibiting a graphic enough picture of some of the occupations of rural life ; but the hero is too uniformly fortunate to afford a true representation of reality. Perhaps the story altogether is a pitch too high for ploughboys, though plainly written.]

edition. Part I.

A. new edition of Mr. ROSCOE'S elegant and attractive tourist's companion, in a convenient form of publication, and at a cheap price. In the firstpart we

The Law as respects Administrators and Executors. (Tyas's Legal

Hand- Books.) [We think this the best of the series ; more entirely practical in those thing; which an executor or administrator must do for himself or avoid doing, leaving legal refinements for the professional adviser. The points of administra-

tion to intestate estates are properly dwelt upon at length, and the tables in the

appendix are useful.] Master Humphrey's Clock, Part X.

PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS AND PRINTS.

Views in Nassau, in the vicinity of Kronberg. From Sketches taken in the Autumn of 1834, by MART DE HUMBOLDT. With Descriptive Letterpress.

[Twelve pretty views, though deficient in local character, and not very striking for their picturesque features. The little old-fashioned town of Kronberg, situated on the slope of a wooded hill, backed by one of the mountain; of the Taunus range—the quiet villages and hamlets, with here and there a height crested by a tamed castle—and the valley of the Maine—doubtless deserve the florid encomiums of the descriptive notes, and might furnish attractive subjects for the painter; but the pencil of an amateur may not be adequate to the somewhat difficult task of rendering the beauties of colour into the lan- guage of form. The sketches are lithographed in the tinted style of litho- graphy, by Mr. W. WALTON, the artist who has accompanied Mr. SCHOM- BURGS'S expedition to Guiana ; and the drawings are neat, clear, and effec- tive.]

The Illustrated Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - chiefly explanatory of the manners and customs mentioned in the Sacred Scrip- tures, and also of the history, geography, natural history, and antiqui- ties; being a republication of the Notes of the Pictorial Bible. With many hundred wood-cuts. Vol. V. [This volume contains the whole of the New Testament, and completes the work ; which is by far the most various and informing commentary on the Scriptures that has ever appeared.]

PAMPHLETS.

A Letter to the Inhabitants of Woodbridge. By the Reverend HENRY HARDINGE. LA pastoral address from the minister of the parish of Woodbridge to his flock, in his twofold character of " shepherd " and " watchman." In the latter capacity he points out the abuse of a wealthy charity—Seckforde's Almshouses; the management of which has, by an act of Parliament privately obtained, been transferred from the Governors, Churchwardens, and parishioners jointly, to that of the Governors only, contrary to the will of the founder. The sub- ject is too local for our columns, else we would willingly oblige the corre- spondent who sends the pamphlet and solicits our remarks. The pamphlet itself should be read.] Railway Transit: a Letter to the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, M.P., ' President of the Board of Trade. By FRANCIS ROUBILIAC CORDER, civil engineer.

[A. number of ingenious and useful suggestions by a scientific man, who appears to be practically acquainted with the working details of railways, and who con- templates the possibility of rendering their mode of travelling as safe as it is expeditious.]
